Wonder why recovery is so much harder then when you get them out as a kid?

Few days with a sore throat, and done, when I had mine out.

Eating chips the same day I got home was a bad call, though.

More developed cardiovascular systems is my guess. Adult tonsillectomies are notoriously painful. I got much stronger dose pain medicine for this than when I shattered my ankle

When I was a kid, most doctors figured that we would “grow into them.” God I wish so bad I had a time machine and could convince my parents to lop them off 18 years ago.

No doubt.

Mind you, when I was a kid, so, 50 years ago, having them out was super common. Like, I don't even think there was an issue with mine at that point.

Take care, dude.
